OK, so I admit, I love to watch The Bachelor. While I do not watch TV much as a rule, there are a couple of shows I love. I do love to watch Kimora Lee Simmons - she IS fabulous. And watching her assistant, James, sweat through every show cracks me up. She runs him around and gives him jobs that put him in a tizzie and his reactions are hysterical but somehow James always comes thru. Anyway, the other show I secretly watch every season is The Bachelor. I did miss the season of Mary and Bryon, but I caught the rest. Actually while reading Yahoo yesterday I learned that Mary beat Bryon up or something like that. Is that love? I will keep you posted for the REST OF THE STORY.

So, every Monday night after class I come home and get ready to watch the BACHELOR. When Chris, the host of the show, said this was to be the most DRAMATIC ever he was not kidding. I watched Brad Womack get rid of the posse one by one and the drama of the ROSE and who would get it had me and my girlfriends just about having an anxiety attack. That is how dramatic watching this was. The build up was trememdous and for sure love was in the air. All of our girlish fantasies come true. It was clearly DeAnna who was the strongest woman there and she let her feelings be known out of the gate. She was looking for a man and wanted to fall in love. But in the end, it came down to 2 women, Jenny and DeAnna. Well, my money was on DeAnna from the start. Big Greek family, so adorable and able to be romantic and let her feelings run like a surf board.

As I was anticipating the BIG FINALE AND ROSE CEREMONY I settled in for the night and wanted to see this young girl truly get her KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR. I figured I would get some tips from the show on how to find my KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR since I have been meeting the FLAV’s of the world. Oh, I want the emotionally secure guy, with looks and money to sweep me off of my size 9 shoes and make me believe there are still those GOOD, EMOTIONALLY SECURE MEN who truly exist. Well, did I and most of America get the SHOCK OF OUR LIVES. Come on, we all thought for sure one of them would be flying high and getting ready to say I DO. But when I saw Brad jump off of the podium I knew the outcome. He was gonna let them both go - and he did! We all were in shock except probably ABC. Do I think it was rigged? Who knows. Either Brad has more issues than me or this guy poured it on to both of them with words scripted right off of paper. The ratings for the BACHELOR have been so low if they did not do something it was sure to go off of the air. But I truly believe none of those women knew what was going on as to only have their hearts broken.

This is not over yet, as I have been getting email from CurvyGirls who knew I loved the show. Will I ever watch the show again after Brad’s big letdown? Only time will tell and, oh, as soon as I diagnose Brad’s mental disorder.
